I meant to post this before the holidays, but procrastination and last minute shopping got the best of me. This year, for our apartment’s before-mentioned holiday party, we tried something a bit different: we asked all of our guests to bring a toy for Toys for Tots. We collected the toys under the tree and donated them the next day at the Marine base. I wanted to share some photos, so our readers could keep this in mind for their parties next year! I can’t take credit for coming up with the idea all on my own, a co-worker was hosting a Toys for Tots party, which gave me the idea to incorporate it into ours. It was a huge sucess, and our guests seemed really excited to purchase toys for the organization. Do you ever incorporate charities into your parties? If so, do share your ideas! Some photos:

Look at all those toys!
